Hello readers!
Thank you for checking out my platform! I am a meteorology major and creative writing minor at Stony Brook University in Long Island, NY. I have loved weather ever since I was little. It has always been my passion and it always will be. It is my dream to go storm chasing in the Midwestern U.S. someday.
One of my major hobbies is called railfanning. This means that I videotape trains for fun and then I edit the videos and post them on YouTube. I love everything about trains but my favorite part is the horn. The horn is so loud and powerful. To hear the horn blasting as a train speeds by is so invigorating! You can find my YouTube channel with all of my train videos here: http://www.youtube.com/railfanningmeteorologistproductions. I also post weather videos on here where I’m either trying to forecast big snowstorms in the Northeast during winter time or severe weather in the summer time. I also occasionally post videos of weather occurring in my area.
When it comes to writing, as well as literature and film, I have a variety of tastes. I absolutely love the horror genre. I love horror films; especially slasher and home invasion films. If I do write a short story, it is most likely to be a scary one. I also like to write poetry. You can view my poetry here: http://www.booksie.com/MegaDa99. All of this is from my high school years. I hope to have more poetry to add to my repertoire after I take a class on poetry in the fall.
I was required to launch a writing platform for the creative writing class that I’m currently taking, so most of my posts for the first month or so will be in relation to assignments for my class. After the class, I may post about anything and everything. Not sure what yet. That’s why the blog is called “Miscellaneous Banter”!
Mike, this is great. I love how you included all three major points of interest to you, and I’ll definitely check out your youtube page and some of your poetry! The title, also awesome, can’t wait to see what you decide to banter about and read some of your horror stories (maybe I’ll finally start to like feeling scared).
SO FIRST OFF… the name. I ADORE IT. Just flows nicely and is so edgy. Much appreciate.
That aside, this page definitely does a good job of describing the Mike I’ve come to know over our adventuring together. Also props for the nods to you other “platforms” for poetry and rail-fanning. Perhaps I should have tagged along for one of these locomotive viewings so that I could have a better understanding of your passion. Same as Courtney ( who beat me to the punch damn her), I look forward to diving into some of these oh so terrifying stories you are speaking of.
Your title for you blog, funny! I think your hobby of railfanning is so cool! This is a hobby that I never heard before. Have you considered writing about your experience railfanning? I look forward to see what you will post after the class ends.
